Absolute exponential stability criteria of delay time-varying systems with sector-bounded nonlinearity: a comparison approach

Absolute exponential stability problem of delay time-varying systems (DTVS) with sector-bounded nonlinearity is presented in this paper. By using the comparison principle and properties of positive systems we derive several novel criteria of absolute exponential stability, for both continuous-time and discrete-time nonlinear DTVS. When applied to the time-invariant case, the obtained stability criteria are shown to cover and extend some previously known results, including, in particular, the result due to S.K. Persidskii in Ukrainian Mathematical Journal, vol. 57(2005). The theoretical results are illustrated by examples that can not be treated by the existing ones.

Robustness of Exponential Stability of a Class of Switched Linear Systems with State Delays

This paper investigates the robustness of exponential stability of a class of switched systems described by linear functional differential equations under arbitrary switching. We will measure the stability robustness of such a system, subject to parameter affine perturbations of its constituent subsystems matrices, by introducing the notion of structured stability radius. The lower bounds and the upper bounds for this radius are established under the assumption that certain associated positive linear systems upper bounding the given subsystems have a common linear copositive Lyapunov function. In the case of switched positive linear systems with discrete multiple delays or distributed delay the obtained results yield some tractably computable bounds for the stability radius. Examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.

Exponential stability analysis for a class of switched nonlinear time-varying functional differential systems

This paper proposes a unified approach for studying global exponential stability of a general class of switched systems described by time-varying nonlinear functional differential equations. Some new delay-independent criteria of global exponential stability are established for this class of systems under arbitrary switching which satisfies some assumptions on the average dwell time. The obtained criteria are shown to cover and improve many previously known results, including, in particular, sufficient conditions for absolute exponential stability of switched time-delay systems with sector nonlinearities. Some simple examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.

On the Solution Existence for Prox-Regular Perturbed Sweeping Processes

In the setting adopted by Edmond and Thibault [Mathematical Programming 104 (2005), 347--373], we study a class of perturbed sweeping processes. Under suitable assumptions, we obtain two solution existence theorems for perturbed sweeping processes with the constraint sets being prox-regular sublevel sets. The results are applied to analyzing the behavior of some concrete mechanical sweeping processes, which appear for the first time in this paper.
